Hi Scott! I was closing loops on emails today and noticed it seems like
your email was caught up in the spam filter. It seems like you
subscribed to the list with your fedoraproject.org email alias - if you
use your @gmx.com email, you should be able to send and receive mail to
the list.
Sounds like you have a lot of background and experience working with
Linux. There's plenty of ways for you to get involved and contribute in
the Fedora community, and we'd be happy to help you find a place to get
involved in.
There is a great site called whatcanidoforfedora.org that is an
interactive way for you to find a place that you may be able to
contribute to based on your interests.

Alternatively, if you prefer text, you can also find this wiki page too
as a good reference.

Hopefully this is enough info for you to see what all is out there in
the Fedora community. There are plenty of different sub-projects, from
CommOps to Infrastructure to Packaging to Marketing and beyond to get
involved with. If you'd like some more specific pointers, let us know
what your interests are and we'd be happy to help guide you to the right
place.
Sorry again for the late reply. :)
